Brief Description: The male is one of the most spectacular of all
pheasants. The species is named for the bright blue facial wattles that are
extended several inches during courtship. The curved white tail is also a
noticeable feature. The general body color is dark blue to black, with the
throat and upper breast purplish. The female is dull brown overall with fine
black vermiculations; crestless, blue facial skin.

Status in Wild: Locally common in four protected areas in Borneo, but
rare elsewhere as logging and clearing for agriculture has destroyed habitat.
